I purchased a 1997 W210 e300 cluster thinking it would work and it doesn't. I figured it would work since its basically the same car (non-turbo). When I turn the key on the lights will come on, but there isn't any glow light till after I start the car and none of the guages etc. work either. All I need is the window for mileage errors ect. Is there any way I can just switch them and have it all work? Just wishful thinking.
